Chapter 196 - Chapter 198 (1/2)

”New World, my ass! This is crazy!” Sanji stood stunned as most would after witnessing the destruction of an entire island by the simple swing of a hand. How could someone so casually destroy an island he didn't understand. Sanji and the straw hats that were awake couldn't even comprehend how someone like this could exist.

”Sorry I didn't tell you guys about this. I didn't want you to treat me differently because of who my grandpa is. I hope you can forgive me, Luffy!” Robin had no desire to leave this crew and return to Gotei with Amell. But, she also couldn't control Luffy or make decisions for him, if he wanted her out she would have no choice but to leave.

”No worries, it's already forgotten!” Luffy had stars in his eyes from witnessing this display of incredible power. Robin leaving his crew was completely out of the question now. And, Zoro and Sanji might have forced him to accept her if he denied her, mostly out of fear that Amell would kill them for denying his granddaughter.

”What happens now?” Zoro asked seriously. The question everyone should be asking but were too shocked or afraid to ask was the only one he could think about. What happens now? They invaded an important government base, then stood with an emperor as he destroyed it all.

”Nothing will change for you, kids. Enies Lobby was within my sights, you all just forced me to speed up its destruction some. Robin belongs to your crew so there is no way to stop Sengoku and his Marines from putting more focus on you now.”

”Then how can you say nothing will change for us?! What if, because of you, they send an Admiral after us?” Chopper asked, trying to sound as scary and manly as possible. For someone so cowardly, Zoro secretly applauded Chopper's bravery of talking like that to an emperor.

”Then, good luck to you, brats!” Amell laughed but received a punch to his arm by Robin herself. ”Don't be mean, grandpa!” She didn't approve of scaring the cute little reindeer.

”Haha, sorry, sorry!” Amell stopped laughed and bowed down next to Chopper with a smile. ”Little Chopper. If they dispatch an Admiral after you, I'll send one of my commanders to come and rescue you.” He patted Chopper on the head, and the reindeer didn't dare to wave his hand away. ”How does that sound?”

”G-Good, I guess!” Chopper said and tried to hide the red-tinted colour on his cheeks.

”Then that solves that! But, your bounties will increase after this, no doubt. So, you should prepare for lots of powerful people coming to claim those heads of yours.” Amell looked specifically at the monster trio in the crew when he said that.

”Let them come, I say. I need training!” Zoro placed his hand on his swords with a determined look.

”Moss head is right, let them come!” Sanji lit another cig.

”Stop it, you two! We already have enough people that want to kill us! We don't need more!” Chopper felt like chewing those two muscle brains right up.

”What do you say, Straw hat Luffy?” Amell turned to the rookie captain. ”Do you know what needs to be done?”

”I just have to beat them all, right?” He said with a smile that perfectly showed how innocent he is at heart. Luffy was an even purer soul then Aang was, and that put a genuine smile on Amell's face.

”That's right! You better do just that! I entrust Robin's safety on you. Can I trust you to keep her out of harm?”
